We think this was made around the mid 1950's. It belonged to my sister in law and has been packed away since 1981. There are no tags on it. When you roll the material back you can see the head is a round ball of pressed material that looks like dried hay. There is a finger opening (very small) which looks like a cylinder of thin cardboard. The material is not terribly soft. The nose and mouth are sewing thread. I have no idea what the eyes are made of or how they are fastened on.

fhrjr2, 7 months agoThanks VV and the same to you and yours. With Maniken's help I identified this and will gift it to a grandchild very shortly. When she grows up it may have a bit more value.

Hedgewalker, 4 months agoI've been thinking about a little competition for a while and I think in light of all that's been going on this would be a good time. I don't want to give any details yet to keep it fair . And I do want EVERYONE to feel comfortable about joining in. I will post details and get it started tomorrow if no problems come up .
Pass it on.
